Nairobi, Kenya: Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga reiterated that his Coalition for Reforms and Democracy’s Saba Saba rally set for Monday will proceed as planned and that there was no turning back.
The July date rekindles memories of the 1990s pro-reform protests violently dispersed by police as Opposition politicians and pro-rights non-government organisations and lobby groups fought for the restoration of multiparty democracy.
